XXIII. BUTTERFLIES IN THE FELLS

_'My concern for God and His holy,

eternal truth was then in the

North, where God had placed and

set me.'--MARGARET FOX._

_'I should be glad if thou would

incline to come home, that thou

might get a little Rest, methinks

its the most comfortable when one

has a home to be there, but the

Lord give us patience to bear all

things'--M. FOX to G. Fox, 1681._

_'I did not stir much abroad

during the time I now stayed in

the North; but when Friends were

not with me spent pretty much time

in writing books and papers for

Truth's service.'--G. FOX._

_'All dear Friends press forward

in the straight way.'--JOHN AUDLAND._

_'Is not liberty of conscience in

religion a fundamental?... Liberty

of conscience is a natural right,

and he that would have it, ought to

give it, having liberty to settle

what he likes for the public....

This I say is fundamental: it ought

to be so. It is for us and the

generations to come.'--OLIVER

CROMWELL._
